Based on a Photo Prompt From MPP Social

A fantasy that comes full face Of gentled tides abundant place

A slivered moon reflects just so To stave off sadness, pique and woe

The fire breathes a dragon’s breath And angst now dies a martyrs death

For nothing can be held on high To tarnish hope in twilit sky

And jewels upon horizon gleam White coral thrown from depths be seen

With opal saturated through Displaying many subtle hues

White diamonds speak to majesty Relieves the soul of travesty

The pearl from inside mantled shell Iridescent mother felled

Surrounded by a gemmed sky woke Yet in the background it bespoke

Allow the land to fall away And stay among the stars foray

To follow them as night full falls Then brilliance only new recalled

Will then make this seem dull by far Exploding facets in each star

Yet but a pin pricked velvet drape That won’t let too much light escape

Or mar the gentled night foretold And promised one whose needs unfold
